What is Sarcoidosis ?
• Systemic inflammatory/immunologic disorder
• Affects any organ, but lung in over 90% of patients, Liver almost as much
• Hallmark is granulomatous inflammation (noncaseating)
• It is diagnosis of exclusion
• Thought to be in response to inhaled trigger

History- Sarcoid is a skin disease…
• First described by Hutchinson in 1878 and in 1898 as Mrs. “Mortimer’s Malady” (she had “gout”)
• Besnier described a patient in 1889 and termed skin findings “lupus pernio”
• Tenneson in 1892, second patient with lupus pernio, first report with histology
• Boeck in 1899 reported a patient with “Multiple Benign Sarkoid of Skin”
• In 1914 Schaumann first identified that Boeck’s sarkoid and Besnier’s pernio were same- termed it “lymphogranuloma benignum”

History- Sarcoid is systemic…
• Mikulicz in 1892, salivary and lacrimal gland involvement
• Heerfordt in 1909 (uveoparotid fever) uveitis, salivary gland, and cranial nerve palsy
• Boeck in 1916 showed sarcoidosis to be a systemic disease with “benign miliarlupoids”, also cutaneous anergy to crude tuberculin.
• Kreibich 1904 and Jungling 1921- bone

History- Where’s the lung?
• In 1932, Schaumann pioneered lung involvement as the first stage in the natural course of sarcoidosis
• In 1946 Lofgren first described the constellation of erythema nodosum, febrile arthropathy, and bilateral hilar adenopathy
• 1952 Myers described migratory polyarthritis as presenting feature of sarcoidosis
![Page 10: SarcoidosisTCR - Ag - MHC Signal 2 - Co - stim CD86 CD28 Antigen complex TCR T cell IFN, IL - 2 P TB TNF , MIP, IL - 15, IL - 18, RANTES, GM - CSF, IL - 1, IL - 6, IL - 12, IL - 8,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070108/603912a938c90a65c13c829a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sarcoid: An inflammatory disease
• Israel in 1954 pioneered the idea of sarcoidosis as an immunologic disease
• From about 1975 on, sarcoidosis recognized as a “hyperactive” disease of inflammation
• 1980 Hunninghake examined inflammatory T cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)
• 1984 Kataria describes cell-mediated granulomatous response to Kveim-Siltzbach “particulate” skin test.

Genetics- SAGA, African American
Iannuzzi et al
– Sarcoidosis Genetic Analysis consortium performed genome wide sib-pair multipoint linkage analysis in 229 African American families
• Possible susceptibility gene on 5q11
• Associations with severity phenotypes, different loci
![Page 14: SarcoidosisTCR - Ag - MHC Signal 2 - Co - stim CD86 CD28 Antigen complex TCR T cell IFN, IL - 2 P TB TNF , MIP, IL - 15, IL - 18, RANTES, GM - CSF, IL - 1, IL - 6, IL - 12, IL - 8,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070108/603912a938c90a65c13c829a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Genetics- German cohort
Valentonyte et al
– SNP scan of 16.4 Mb on chromosome 6p21 in as many as 947 independent cases of familial and sporadic sarcoidosis and found that a 15-kb segment of the gene butyrophilin-like 2 (BTNL2) was associated with the disease
• BTNL2 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and has been implicated as a costimulatory molecule involved in T-cell activation on the basis of homology to B7
• Less so when validated in SAGA, ACCESS- AA population

Genetics- Scandanavia
Wahlstrom et al- Scandanavian sarcoid study
• Characterized HLA DRB1*0301 and cell expansion of CD4+ Va2.3T cells
• Eluted antigen and found 78 aa sequences from self proteins associated with BAL cells (ie: vimentin and ATP-synase) as possible “autoantigen”

• Cause unknown, but infectious and autoantigens recently defined
• Role of clearance vs antigen persistence
• Cohort matters
• Further study based on clinical phenotype

Approach to Diagnosis
• Appropriate Clinical Setting
• Supportive evidence (ie: organ
involvement, BAL, PFTs, ACE)
• Find the Granuloma
• Exclude other causes of Granuloma
• “Can never be 100% sure”- Diagnosis of exclusion

Diagnostic evaluation
The ATS consensus statement (1999) suggests performing a comprehensive initial evaluation including:
– history (occupational and environmental exposure)
– physical examination
– posteroanterior chest radiography;
– pulmonary function tests (spirometry and DLCO)
– peripheral blood counts, serum chemistries (calcium, liver enzymes, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen);
– urine analysis
– Electrocardiogram
– routine ophthalmologic examination
– tuberculin skin test

Diagnosis of Neurosarcoidosis
CNS: headache, memory loss, palsy, weakness, dizziness, visual, stroke

Pulmonary Diagnosis of Sarcoid
Lung: cough, short of breath, chest pain
• Testing: PFTs, chest x-ray and CT scan
• Diagnosis: often requires biopsy
– to exclude other things that look like sarcoid
– to support the diagnosis of sarcoid
– Bronchoscopy (BAL, Biopsy), Mediastinoscopy

Staging disease by Chest X-ray:

Prognostic factors
By Chest X-ray (not CT):
• Stage 1 Very good 80% improve
• Stage 2 Good 50% improve
• Stage 3 Fair 20% improve
• Stage 4 Poor (Scar), high mortality
• Stage 0 = Normal (up to 8%)

Clinical phenotypes
• Do we lump or split the phenotypes?
– Lofgren syndrome and others
• European, good prognosis
– Lung only
• Inflammatory vs fibrotic
• African American, poor prognosis
– Skin or other organ only
– Lymphopenic Phenotype (Crouser ED, Chest 2010)
• “The CD4+ lymphopenic sarcoidosis phenotype is highly
responsive to anti-tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} therapy”
Sarcoidosis vs Sarcoidoses

Sarcoidosis
• Difficult to tell who will progress• 50% improve without therapy
– some slowly, some very quickly
• 20-30% stabilize with and after therapy
• 20-30% get worse even with aggressive therapy
• Greater than 5% die
• Not all sarcoid is created equal…

Treatment Philosophy
• Don’t over treat
• Manage symptoms
• Manage Expectations
• Two things that can go wrong:
– too much Prednisone
– not recognizing poor prognosis/debilitating
manifestations

When to treat ?
Traditionally difficult to treat (need long-term therapy
possibly with many agents)
– Lung stage III, vocal cord/upper airway obstruction
– Eye (posterior uveitis) and vision loss
– Central nervous system (seizure, mass)
– Cardiac (syncope, rhythm problem, failure)
– Skin (disfiguring, lupus pernio)
– Misc: Calcium, stones, portal, liver, fatigue, arthritis

Treatment options- first line
CONSIDER NOT TREATING– Can wait up to 6 months to see if
spontaneous remission occurs (especially pulmonary)
– Side effects- weight gain, glucose, cataracts, bone loss, insomnia, infection, ulcer, adrenal
– Old dogma- early treatment alters natural course of disease unfavorably…
– If treat, not committed to long term therapy. Bursts and alternate dosing en vogue

Treatment options- first line
Topical steroids as primary therapyMILD DISEASE
– Eyedrops
– Creams/ointments
– Intralesional
– Inhaled
• Alone
• After oral therapy for maintenance

Treatment options- first line
Steroids are the mainstay of treatment– Start 20 mg prednisone a day, need to follow
closely.
– May need more or intravenous if severe, difficulty expected, or acute disease
– May be able to taper over first 1-3 months to a lower dose or every other day dosing
– Retrospective study suggests 21 day course 20mg/d can treat exacerbation

Conclusion
• Sarcoid is a systemic disease
• Diagnosis of exclusion
• Most people do well with with/without
modest therapy
• Overtreatment has consequences
• Some people will have a complicated
course and need aggressive therapy
• It takes a village
• Sarcoid specialists exist
